Finclaw

FinClaw — AI Finance Assistant

Your personal finance assistant covering US stocks, BIST (Turkish market), crypto, and forex. Includes portfolio tracking, price alerts, charts, technical analysis, daily briefings, and more.

First-Time Setup

Run once after installation to create the Python venv and database:

python3 {baseDir}/scripts/setup.py

Then add to openclaw.json under skills.entries:

"finclaw": {
  "env": {
    "FINNHUB_API_KEY": "",
    "FRED_API_KEY": "",
    "ALPHA_VANTAGE_API_KEY": "",
    "EXCHANGE_RATE_API_KEY": ""
  }
}

API keys are optional — core features (prices, charts, TA, portfolio, alerts) work without any keys.

Running Scripts

All scripts use the skill's Python venv:

{baseDir}/venv/bin/python3 {baseDir}/scripts/<script>.py [args]
